Really? It takes 6 hours? Well, maybe restaurants have different resources that allow them to cook it faster-- or maybe not. If it takes 6 hours, I dunno how they do it. Or maybe they cook it a different way. There's no impressive presentation or anything; all there is on the plate is cooked brain, eyes, and tongue on bits of beef with its stew. I haven't had proper xash before, so I couldn't tell you the difference.
